DRAFT*DRAFT**DRAFT of Sample worksheet

Hmmm the little boxes now look like circles with an x on top??? The formatting has changed in several areas.

I like having a worksheet for students to follow along...visual learners need this especially. We could mention that in our reflection. ---Wendy

Wendy, could you post that worksheet here? --- Vicki

I like the idea of a worksheet as well. I just wonder about the elevation/longitude/latitude things because I don't think we state an objective about that. And then, I wonder if we should include something about history and economics, etc, since that is stated in the objectives. What do you all think? Great idea to include the worksheet and a good jumping off place. -- Britt
